BTW, I respect your right to protest as much as I respect Mike's right to say the things that you protest.

Whether or not we agree with what another man says, we should defend to the death his right to say it.

Healthy protest leads to dialog. Dialog leads people to rethink. Mike willingly rethought his position and removed the song as a result of your protest. We didn't need a rule or law to get consensus. In my mind, there is a big difference between open disagreement and censorship.

In open dialog, both opinions are allowed. In censorship, only the opinion of the party with the biggest gun is allowed.

I recently read a book on oppression in North Korea, based on interviews with people who had fled to the South. It's a very eye-opening book... I can't imagine anyone reading it then advocating opinion control

The name of the book is NOTHING TO ENVY

It's reminiscent of Orwell's 1984, only real life and current. Just because it happens to other people doesn't make it fiction.
